Direct Lobbying Transparency

Moderate | Kyushu Electric Power provides some transparency around its climate-related lobbying but stops short of fully detailing specific policy titles or the exact regulatory instruments it influences. It identifies its policy engagement by noting it engages in “国の供給力確保議論における制度面での訴求を実施します,” which reflects direct advocacy in national discussions on power supply, and targets “電力取引市場等の制度設計,” indicating a focus on electricity trading market design. However, the company does not specify the names of the laws or regulations involved or the individual government bodies or officials it meets. On outcomes, Kyushu Electric Power states it has lobbied to “必要な供給力の確保に対する具体策を導入するよう働きかけました,” seeking the introduction of concrete measures to secure power supply, and aims to shape market system design in line with broader climate commitments such as the Paris Agreement. These disclosures reveal its general objectives and mechanisms but lack the precise detail—such as named statutes, target ministries, or quantified targets—that would demonstrate comprehensive transparency in its climate-policy lobbying. | 2 |
